With summer approaching, the need for fast, pocketable storage rises for anyone shooting 4K on a phone or juggling game libraries. iDsonix External SSD pairs a 7.5 mm slim body with up to 2000MB/s transfers so you can offload clips and game data on the move.
⚡ At a Glance
- • Transfer Speed: Up to 2000MB/s (20Gbps) sequential throughput for rapid file moves
- • Essential for: iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max shooters who capture 4K 60fps ProRes and need quick offload
- • Skip this if: You plan to rely on the magnet to secure the drive to non-magnetic carbon-fibre rigs; the magnetic mount only works on magnetic surfaces and the supplied sticker may not hold reliably in wet, muddy or highly mobile outdoor setups, risking loss of the drive
Slim 7.5 mm portable SSD available in 512GB, 1TB and 2TB capacities with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connectivity. Magnetic mounting and a 3-year quality assurance aim the product squarely at phone shooters and gamers who need quick external capacity.
The Fast Offload: Why 2000MB/s Transfer Speed Matters
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 achieves up to 2000MB/s (20Gbps) sequential transfers, so multi-gigabyte clips copy in seconds rather than minutes. Direct Impact: copy windows and backups finish quickly, freeing devices for the next shoot or session.
Speed reduces downtime between takes and accelerates large backups for travel workflows. Be mindful that sustained desktop workloads still favour internal NVMe drives, so use the SSD for quick offloads and portability rather than as a permanent workstation boot drive.
Smooth 4K Backup – Magnetic Mounting and Phone-Ready Storage
Designed specifically for iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max ProRes capture, the magnetised edge lets compatible phones or cases carry the drive for instant backups. User Scenario: during a location shoot, clamp the drive to a magnetic case and transfer footage between takes.
If you record ProRes 4K60 on an iPhone, the SSD stores clips immediately, eliminating frantic deletes mid-shoot. Remember that the magnet only adheres to magnetic surfaces, and the adhesive pad exists for non-magnetic devices as a secondary option.
Why the Slim Magnetic Design Is a Standout Attribute
At 7.5 mm thick, roughly the thickness of three British £1 coins stacked, the pen‑thin profile slips into pockets or small camera pouches with ease. The low profile plus magnetic mounting keeps the unit close to your kit, reducing snag risk when tucked away.
Compact form factor makes long shoots and travel simpler by saving bag space, but relying solely on the magnet outdoors introduces a small risk compared with a dedicated hard case; carry the adhesive sticker or stow the SSD in a zipped pocket when moving between locations.

- ProRes-compatible workflow – Stores 4K60 ProRes clips directly from compatible iPhones
